Cogito, Ergo Sumana for 2010 March 9

# (1) 09 Mar 2010, 03:45PM: Some Fanvids I Like: I was just telling a pal about Archive Of Our Own, and then I was explaining why an episode of Psych mentioning "Shassie" was fanservice [0]. And Kirrily just linked to a feminist fanvid sampler. So I decided I should publicly bookmark some of my favorite fan fiction and fanvids.

First a few vids:

• "It Depends on What You Pay" by giandujakiss, the classic Dollhouse vid.
• And speaking of critiquing the source text, "...on the dance floor" by Sloane, which permanently changes how one watches the Star Trek reboot (and Flight of the Conchords).
• Did I mention critiquing the source text? "Handlebars" by Flummery.
• "Us" by lim, which makes my heart soar every time I watch it. Amazing notes.
• A fun James Bond vid by giandujakiss that has a great hit-hit-hit-bwah? repeating sequence in the middle.
• And the vid that I was just telling Elisa about: "Hourglass" by giandujakiss, which just seems fun until you read the creator's brilliant notes & metacommentary.

Fics later.

[0] "The Head, The Tail, The Whole Damn Episode" also featured a Leverage shoutout and guest appearances from Jeri Ryan (late of Star Trek: Voyager and Leverage) and Michael Hogan (Colonel Saul Tigh on Battlestar Galactica). Much as when I heard Obama had put Tufte on a panel, I'm feeling all pandered to.
